If you ask me, modular power supplies arent all their cracked up to be. i own one, and its nothing special. i care more about the stability of the power rails. I just rerout teh cables to teh top (or bottom of the case as the case may be) out of the way. Trust me when i say, you need to invest in a good power supply. That one i recommended i used in my parents builld, and it is still running strong.

PS> Case is fine, but i still like the Antec 900 better
Mm.. I have a 4-pin myself (was only Power Supply Unit I could afford at the time) and I must say, it has a tendency to become unstable when overclocking, though it's rock-steady on stock settings.

And I must agree, Modular PSUs are nice and convenient, but my experience with them has shown they fluctuate a lot and aren't quite reliable, my only remaining one is a 550W and it's extremely finicky, only deciding to turn on once every 9 or 10 power button presses, and then it'll wonk out on me after about 30-50mins, whereas my 400W (same system) works consistently no problem


As for the video card, if you're looking to save a couple $$, consider the 3850 or 3870 cards from ATI as they've dropped in price recently due to the 9600GT from nVidia being released and are a real bargain now. Or you could grab a 9600GT, they're nearly (within 5-10 average FPS)as good as the 8800GT, but are 180$

Not really sure why you would want a Blu-ray/HD DVD burner/reader for your computer either :S
